Critical Vices

The Myths of Postmodern Theory

Beschreibung

This book of Nicholas Zurbrugg's challenging and provocative essays charts the most exciting developments in late 20th-century multimedia art. Zurbrugg challenges Jean Baudrillard's, Fredric Jameson's, and Achille Bonito-Oliva's unfavorable accounts of postmodern techno-culture. Interweaving literary and cultural theory, and visual studies, Zurbrugg demonstrates how multimedia visionaries such as Bill Viola and Robert Wilson are notable exceptions to the neutering of mass-media culture, bringing together the modernist and postmodern avant-garde.

Rezensionen

"Nicholas Zurbrugg is a superb guide to that confusing adventure-playground called postmodernism. Critical Vices reveals all Professor Zurbrugg's critical virtues at their best, in a witty, lucid and always accessible prose. Highly recommended." -- J.G. Ballard
"Zurbrugg is an informed and intelligent critic; he is as knowledgeable about the theorists he criticizes as he is about the artists and poets he chooses to celebrate, and he brings considerable intellectual flair to his arguments." -- Art Monthly
